5 pound bottle is pointless in a car.

maybe good for a bike.. but for a car.. 5 pounds equals ALOT OF TRIPS TO THE LOCAL SPEED SHOP!

Here's a crazy idea if you don't mind hacking up your back seats, hollow out the bottom of your back seat as well as the back so you can mount the bottle there and it will look like you just have the back seat folded down. Easy access to turn it on/off and well hidden.

Or you can just stick it in the spare tire well like the rest of us.

Try searching the forum. There are plenty of pics to see but you have to find them. I just figured you were looking for a wild setup. Most people either put it in the spare tire well or in the back where the t-tops go. Some peolpe also mount it in between the back seats.

Like I said, search for pics of bottle and you'll see more than a few setups.

check out this thread i posted some picks of my 15 lbs bottle. if you have a 10 you can also mount the battery there and you can use a remote opener if you like.

cool, my main objective would be to keep it out of site from behind via the rear hatch window...i'm starting to grow fond of mounting it in between the two rear seats, especially when remote bottle openers are about 200 bucks I'll be my own remote opener......for free

You mean the botte bracket? It's a dyno-tune.

With my 10-lb bottle, it fits with the rear seat back in place, and I can still open the console.

It's close, about 1-2" of clearance. I had to modify the stock mounting brackets in order to get the angle for the bottle. Not hard at all and works like a champ.

Default Bottle Bracket / Mount

1- Go to Home Depot; Buy a 4 foot by 2 inch x 1/8 inch piece of flat metal ($4.00)
2- Bend it in the bench vice with room where the holes are under your rear seats on either side. Bend flat for the base, then up along the driveshaft tunnel, then accross the tunnel (approx 6 inches) then repaet back down the other side.
3- Use one of your stock bottle brackets and bolt this to the top of your home mount.
4- Say it w/ Kryon...drill mounting holes.
5- Mount your bottle between seats and put your stock cushions back in.
6- Pat yourself on the back and sit back and drink beer.
= $ 5.00 and fifteen minutes time.

Have fun,
Kev

you have a pic of it? hard to imagine

**EDIT: Also, how does this kit seem, a guy sent me the link from another forum http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...950306106&rd=1 the basic feeling i'm getting from zex is its for ricers and is a waste of time
